The last one is an Italian Five Lira

3rd From Bottom 1 Peso Cuban

4th. from bottom 5 Franks (French)

I'm sure you can see the Belize, British Honduras $1.00

Top Italian one, I'm not sure if it's 1 Lira. Can't see enough.

Value Today ? Sorry, I can't help there.
 

As far as values go,I'm no expert but I don't see anything rare.Maybe the Cuban peso because of Jose Marti might be collectible,the British Honduras dollar is probably wrth the most as a collectible.As far as the Italian lire,I have no clue.Maybe you can check eBay.Put info in the search box and see what you come up with. Good luck.
 

I am including some links that may help you...I hope so.

Current Value of Old Money

I did a currency value to US Dollars for the 5000 Lire....and it said:
WARNING: ITL is obsolete and is no longer legal tender. More info
5,000.00 ITL
Italy Lire (obsolete) = 3.26198 USD
United States Dollars
1 ITL = 0.000652396 USD 1 USD = 1,532.81 ITL

Did not read this page yet...but might be helpful: http://www.ease.com/~randyj/money1.htm

Wish I could be of more help. I have so much foreign money from my travels in the US Navy. I should pull them out and see if they are still good and just cash them in for US Dollars...buy some proofs or something.
 

It has been about 30 years for me, but at that time 20 us dollars equaled 10,000 lira. A person thought they had a pocket full of money until they went to spend it.....lol......sorry I couldn't be of any help, goodluck.......gregd573
 

Thanks all, I was hoping it would be worth something but one never knows unless they ask. It will be put in with all my other silver and coins so my grandson will inherit.
Thanks again
